Dr. Rick Knecht, Associate Professor College of Rural and Community Development, will serve as academic lead for the 2006 Nunivak Island Summer Science program. Rick comes to KuC via the department of Alaska Native Studies and Rural Development. He will be teaching the Biology 104 class, Natural History of Alaska, and with a worldclass expertise in Anthropology and Archeaology the students should get a good taste of cultural anthropology from their experiences with Rick this summer. Welcome to Rick!

Due to a mean winter, that doesn’t want to give up, Summer Science Camp had to be delayed 1 week. The last report from the island is there is still tons of sea ice and a good bit of snow on Nunivak Island.

The plan is to now have students arrive at KuC June 16th, leave for Nunivak the 19th. Come back to KuC July 7th and students finish on the 10th.

Talent Search and the Bridging (Boot Camp) Programs are still on schedule, so keep an eye on them as they start next week.
